The man never thought that his words would be heard by them.

But just now, he clearly looked outside through the crack in the door several times, and the man and woman were both sitting at the stone table and didn't move at all!

But none of that matters now.

What mattered was what he said, and they all knew it.

"I...I was wrong..." The man's legs went limp and he fell to his knees on the ground.

Su Yunluo sat on the stone bench, crossed his legs domineeringly, and said slowly: "Tell me, what is the situation in your village?"

It turns out that Dazaoshu Village was once a good village.

The fields are fertile.

As long as you work diligently, you will never go hungry.

Until one day, the poorest guy in the village became very rich overnight.

He wore brocade clothes, rode a big horse, and distributed candy to the children in the village.

Upon asking, I found out that he made a lot of money in a gambling house in town.

Overnight, he became the richest man in the village.

The guy whom they usually looked down upon has suddenly become so rich, and many people in the village are feeling unbalanced.

They thought, if even he can do it, why can't they?

So, with the dream of becoming rich overnight, people from the village went to the gambling house in the town to gamble one after another.

At the beginning, everyone really won money.

Although it’s not much, you still have to work diligently for several months.

Nowadays, you can win so much money just by sitting in a casino and having fun. Who wouldn’t be tempted?

Just like that, one leads ten, ten leads a hundred...

More and more people are going to casinos.

And everyone's luck began to slowly deteriorate.

From winning money, it slowly turned into losing money.

The losses are increasing, faster and faster.

Gradually, he could no longer pay off his gambling debts, so he started selling his land, wife and children.

Look, a good village has become what it is today in just half a year.

The women and children in the village were either sold or fled.

Only a bunch of gamblers and a few old men were left.

If old people could be sold for money, I'm afraid that old woman would have been sold long ago.

This is why the old woman wanted to drive Su Yunluo away with a bad attitude after seeing her.

The old woman knows her son too well. He will do anything for money now!

"What about the food I sent over before?" Su Yunluo asked.

Because this place is far away from Xingfu Town, it is not easy to come here.

So Su Yunluo asked someone to deliver half a month's worth of food at a time.

"Food?" The man thought for a moment before he suddenly realized, "So you are the one who got taken advantage of."

Su Yunluo narrowed his eyes slightly.

The man realized that he had said the wrong thing and explained awkwardly: "It wasn't me who said that. Someone else said that. The grain was sold for silver on the first day it was delivered."

"What about the silver?"

"I lost all my money in one night."

Seeing his indifferent look, Su Yunluo became more and more angry.

Seventeen couldn't bear to see her so angry, so he took action directly, pinned the bastard to the ground and beat him up.

He beat the man so hard that he lay on the ground unable to move.

I probably won’t be able to go to the casino for the next month!

Seeing this, Su Yunluo felt much better.

It turns out that pain can really be transferred!

Feeling happy, Su Yunluo stood up and walked out: "Let's go to the next town. We can just give up on this Dazaoshu Village."

She didn't believe that a man who was addicted to gambling to the point of selling his wife and children could be saved.

Even if these people could really turn back one day, Su Yunluo didn't want to take the chance.

"Okay, then do we have to choose a new village?"

"Let's talk about it later."

Su Yunluo regretted his mercy again.

However, when I think of the two villages of Zhucun and Huangcun, the villagers are hardworking, they are only so poor because of the geographical environment.

Her arrival can really help them and prevent the hardworking people from starving to death.

Su Yunluo's heart felt a little more balanced.

The original plan was to rest in Stone Town for one night and then go to Phoenix Town tomorrow to see the last two villages.

Now, let’s go directly to Phoenix Town.

Fenghuang Town is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only one road leading to the outside.

The two villages that Su Yunluo wanted to help, Shanglou Village and Xialou Village, were at the innermost part of the town.

I heard that it is located against rolling hills and is difficult to find.

Su Yunluo was afraid that he would not be able to find the way, and was also afraid of wasting time, so he paid a guide to lead the way in Fenghuang Town.

The guide told her that the two villages were in a valley and that they had to cross a big mountain, so he suggested that they set out early the next morning.

But Su Yunluo saw that it was only afternoon and the sun was shining brightly, so why wait until tomorrow? Let's set off today.

And said he would give him more money.

The guide then agreed.

Su Yunluo was muttering in his heart, what do you mean it’s too late today, it’s just that he wanted more money.

As a result, Su Yunluo followed the guide and kept climbing up the mountain. As the sun gradually set, they were still climbing, and Su Yunluo was confused.

"Are you sure you didn't take the wrong road?"

"Don't worry, ma'am. I go this way at least three times a year."

"Three trips?" Su Yunluo felt that this was too few.

But the guide understood it to mean the exact opposite: "Yes, at least three times a year, because my wife is from Shanglou Village. During festivals, we often go into the mountains to take a look."

Su Yunluo was speechless: "..."

"How long will it take us to walk?" Seventeen was considerate and understood the real meaning of Su Yunluo's question.

The guide looked at the sky and said, "We should be able to reach the top of the mountain before it gets completely dark. Then we have to go down the mountain to get there."

"Ah?" Su Yunluo looked at the unreachable mountain top in front of him and his legs went weak.

Huff and puff, she was talking and laughing when she first started climbing the mountain.

Later, slowly, no one wanted to speak anymore.

Seventeen asked her several times to carry him on his back, but she refused.

The mountain road is steep and difficult to walk on, so she would never trouble others if she could walk by herself.

Finally, when Su Yunluo was about to collapse from exhaustion, they reached the top of the mountain.

At this moment, a crescent moon appeared in the sky.

Fortunately, there was a simple pavilion on the top of the mountain for rest. Su Yunluo sat down on the pavilion and didn't want to move anymore.

Seventeen took out the dry food he bought from town and handed it to her.

Su Yunluo took it, took two bites, and then choked and couldn't swallow it.

"Water." She held out her hand.

Seventeen took out the kettle and shook his head. It was empty and silent.

"Wait a moment." Then he went to find water.

"Forget it, don't go." Su Yunluo stopped him.

Along the way up, at the foot of the mountain, you can see streams everywhere.

When you reach halfway up the mountain, the stream becomes less.

Going further up, there is no more stream water.

It's pitch black in the middle of the night, where can he get water?

"I'm not very thirsty either."

Seventeen nodded, knowing that it was difficult to find water on the top of the mountain.

He raised his eyes and looked around, and suddenly a nice smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Do you want to eat some fruit?"
